Hochul distances himself from one of Mamdani's promises. "We're spending a lot of money."
Zohran Mamdani's promises of free public transportation are a thing of the past. The mayor-elect won't necessarily have the state's support to implement his plan, as New York Governor Kathy Hochul's recent statement suggests. She stated that she "cannot present a plan at this time" that would replace public transportation funding, which is currently based on fare revenue.
During his election campaign, Mamdani promised to introduce completely free public transportation for New York City residents. In practice, this means that buses, light rail, and subways would be subsidized by the city, and therefore indirectly by its residents. Funds for the additional, multi-billion-dollar budget burden would come from a corporate tax increase and an additional 2% income tax on individuals earning over $1 million annually.
On Monday, Zohran Mamdani stood by his promise. “I remain enthusiastic about working to make the slowest buses in America fast and free,” the mayor-elect said, adding that he “appreciates the continued partnership” with Gov. Hochul in advancing the “affordability agenda.”
Mamdani thus referred to Hochul's words from the SOMOS convention in Puerto Rico, where the New York state governor seemed to distance herself from the bold promises of the future mayor of the Big Apple.
“We spend a lot of money, so I can’t put forward a plan right now that would take funding away from the system that relies on bus and subway fares,” Hochul said, but added that she believes public transportation in the city can be made “more affordable.”
